Phasmid!!

[mutrok4040]

Found my first phasmid in forever... I will I.D. him soon as possible! I know basic care, is there any care requirements specific to this species?

Sorry for upside-down pic, will fix ASAP

I think its Diapheromera femorata.

Thanks! I let him go, but he was roughly 4 inches, without antennae of course.

Nice! I found a nymph today while helping my grandmother pick up pecans. Wanted to keep it but didn't have anything on me to put it in.

Cool! I'd love to find stick insects native to California, but all I've been able to find are the invasive Indian stick insects on my school campus.

I wish I could find those. There are absolutely no stick insects in Pasadena that I have found no native or exotic whatsoever
